The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly...

The Good: Today a friend and I headed back to San Luis to see if we could get our truck 'unstuck'. Using his winch he pulled to truck out after some hours of maneuvering and then was able to get the air compressor out as well. When we arrived in San Luis I didn't think we much chance because it had rained hard over the previous night and the truck was literally sitting in water...but God, and Brad, prevailed. Thank you, Jesus!

Although I didn't make it home in time to see them Joyce told me the kids(Fabi, Mauricio, Angel & Jesus) loved their new school. She also told me we got some test results back from the other children(Gershon, Antonio, Cesar, Rosa, Karen, & Pedro) and that they were outstanding! Another Thank you, Jesus!

The Bad: Coming home we hit a horrendous rain storm that caused many, many problems; not the least of which was a three hour traffic jam! It was difficult to sit there and watch so many just aggravate the situation by choosing to fill the on-coming lanes w/their vehicles, making things even worse.

The Ugly: The storm caused a tree to fall on the power lines and our electricity was out. When I got home the candles were down to their last flicker and the house was a kiln! Having to open all the windows brought another treat: the neighbor's kids were screaming all night and I alternately couldn't sleep because of their screaming or the sweat streaming.....

Joy comes in the morning: At 12:01 a.m. the electricity came back on...a huge Thank you, Jesus!!!
